Beach Boys to return in October

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1964 hit “Fun, Fun, Fun,” the Beach Boys will return to the Majestic Theatre on Oct. 8.

Tickets, $45-$75, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the box office and through Ticketmaster.

If it seems like the Beach Boys were just here, they were. They played the Majestic on Oct. 7 fueled by a new album, “That’s Why God Made the Radio,” and an appearance at the Grammys. The hook for this tour, “Fun, Fun, Fun,” the saga of a girl’s short-lived adventures with Daddy’s T-Bird (word is he took it away, finally), managed to claw its way to No. 5 on the singles charts in February 1964 despite the arrival of a certain British quartet.

Purists might argue that the band, fronted by longtime members Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, should have built the tour around the next 1964 single, the chart-topping “I Get Around.” Backed with another classic, “Don’t Worry Baby” (which also charted), it’s consider one of the greatest two-sided singles of all time.

Anyway … the touring version of the band (which does not include the legendary Brian Wilson) will feature guitarist Jeffrey Foskett (right), who, according to a news release, is being introduced as the band’s newest permanent member, despite having only played with them since 1981.
